SerpinA3 is an Endogenous TGF‐β Receptor Antagonist that Attenuates Cardiac Fibroblast Activation and Fibrotic Remodeling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SerpinA3 acts as an endogenous TGF‐β receptor antagonist that binds to the extracellular domain of TGFR‐1, thereby preventing TGFR‐1–TGFR‐2 complex formation. This receptor‐level blockade suppresses TGF‐β/Smad2/3 signaling, attenuates cardiac fibroblast activation, and extracellular matrix deposition, and ultimately alleviates pressure overload–induced

Molecular evolution of enolase [PDF]

, 2005
Enolase (EC 4.2.1.11) is an enzyme of the glycolytic pathway catalyzing the dehydratation reaction of 2-phosphoglycerate. In vertebrates the enzyme exists in three isoforms: α, β and γ. The amino-acid and nucleotide sequences deposited in the GenBank and

Host‐Specific Interactions Between Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa Impair Epithelial Repair in Chronic Rhinosinusitis

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is frequently associated with polymicrobial biofilms involving Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Interactions between these organisms are thought to influence disease severity, but the epithelial effects of exoproteins derived from patient‐matched cocultures remain poorly defined ...

Animal stroke models and outcome evaluation: A review

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Rodents are the preeminent stroke model species. Large animal models exist too, but are poorly standardized. Ischemic and hemorrhagic experimental models are available, with the intraluminal filament model being predominant. Outcomes are evaluated via quantifying subjects' sensorimotor impairment, cognitive memory faculties, degree of cellular ...

Use of novel serum markers in clinical follow-up of Sertoli-Leydig cell turnours [PDF]

, 2007
Background: Sertoli-Leyclig cell tumours of the ovary account for only 0.2% of malignant ovarian tumours. Two-thirds of all patients become apparent due to the tumour's hormone production. Methods: A 41-year-old patient (gravida 4, para 4) presented with

Patient‐Derived Fibroblasts as a Clinically Relevant Model of Kearns–Sayre Syndrome

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Kearns–Sayre syndrome (KSS) is characterized by single large‐scale mitochondrial DNA deletions and by severe early‐onset clinical manifestations with neurological involvement. Reliable disease models, as well as validated biomarkers or effective treatments, are lacking.

Plant enolase : gene structure, expression, and evolution [PDF]

, 1991
Enolase genes were cloned from tomato and Arabidopsis. Comparison of their primary structures with other enolases revealed a remarkable degree of conservation, except for the presence of an insertion of 5 amino acids unique to plant enolases.

Disulfide Bond–Modified Proteomics Reveals the Effects of Riboflavin on Protein Folding Dynamics

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Riboflavin deficiency impairs oxidative protein folding, causing ER misfolded protein accumulation, CHOP activation, and apoptosis, revealing a role of riboflavin in proteostasis. ABSTRACT Riboflavin is a crucial micronutrient essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis, acting as an important precursor for flavoproteins that utilize flavin ...

DETECTION OF ENOLASE AND PYRUVATE KINASE ENZYMES FROM FLUORIDE SENSITIVE AND FLUORIDE RESISTANCE STREPTOCOCCUS MUTANS BY USING PCR. [PDF]

Journal of Bioscience and Applied Research
Background: This study aimed to detect enolase and pyruvate kinase, key metabolic enzymes in glycolysis, in fluoride-resistant and fluoride-sensitive Streptococcus mutans strains isolated from diabetic dental caries. Enolase catalyzes the conversion of 2-
